(Part-0)
Ashes flying around in the air with fire burning so many buildings, whole country was destroyed in seconds.
FWOOSH… CRACKLE… BURN…
No one was able to stand, every Superhero is down, and all of this is done by just a monster.
THUD… THUD… bodies fall on shattered ground.
This monster appeared a month ago and gave a warning, but some people didn't took this seriously, and because of that humanity is brink of annihilation if Superheroes didn't stop him.
Flame King, the No.1 Superhero in the world, fought this beast for one minute, but this monster was unscathed.
BOOM! BOOM! His flames roared—but nothing changed.
But somewhere in the debris a man stands up and starts flying, he is using his power to control everything.
Stones flying—CRACK!—water covered him—SPLASH!—fire dancing around his body—FWAAA!—meteors dropping from space—KRRRSHHH!—ground is shaking with his power—RUMBLE RUMBLE—he is healing everyone on the battlefield and shouts,
"A Superhero never back down on his duty!! We are the hope of humanity!! We are the symbol of courage!! We all will defeat this thing and save everyone!!!"
HIS VOICE ECHOES — DOOOOOOOOM!!!
*************
(Part-1)
Leaves are flying in the air and birds are chirping, and we hear the sound of footsteps.
A kid is walking on a street, wearing a school uniform and carrying a school bag on his shoulders.
"Haa… I hate school. Because of this I will miss Flame King's interview," that kid says with a frustrated face.
PUNCH! PUNCH!
Punching sounds echo in that street, along with someone cursing.
"You little brat! Do you even know whose brother you told no to for lending your game, huh!?" a kid says while beating a helpless kid.
"I am sorry, I will give him my game…" the helpless kid says, trying to defend himself.
But that bully kid and his friends don't care about that game anymore and beat him brutally.
THUD! THUD! WHAM!
"Oye, stop!" that school kid says to those bullies.
Those bully kids turn and see a school kid with shaking legs in fear.
TREMBLE TREMBLE
"Huh? Who the hell are you?" one of the bully kids asks.
"My name doesn't matter in this situation. The only thing I want is to stop you guys from bullying that kid," that school kid replies.
"Oye, grab him and beat him alongside this loser," the main bully kid says.
One of the bully kids grabs that school kid and smacks him on the wall.
SMACK!
Those bully kids beat the two kids brutally.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"I don't have any superpowers… but I can't let anyone be in danger. Because powers don't make heroes," that school kid thinks while getting beaten.
After some beating, those bully kids leave, spitting on their faces.
SPIT!
"Hey, are you alright?" that helpless kid asks the school kid.
The helpless kid helps the school kid stand on his feet.
"Thanks for trying to save me. Can I ask your name?" the helpless kid asks.
"Me? I am Muhammad Orhan Abrar," the school kid replies.
Orhan says goodbye to that kid and goes to his school.
Everyone is talking about something—
"Shh… it's about to start."
A news anchor appears on hologram TV.
"Breaking news! A City-level monster appeared in Haoi City, and so many citizens are injured, and some of them unfortunately died," the news anchor says. "Everyone is waiting for Flame King to save them."
"What!? Flame King still didn't arrive there?" someone says while watching TV.
"I hope Flame King arrives there as soon as possible, or this monster will destroy the whole city," another watcher says.
A room filled with so many people wearing headphones and attending phone calls—
"Hello, AGA Help Department. How can we help you?" someone from that room says after picking a call.
"Our home is attacked by a monster! Please send any superhero to save my family!!" a man screams on call.
"Calm down. We already sent Flame King to your location," the man from AGA says.
After cutting the call, he goes to report to his senior.
"Sir, we got so many calls and we still don't know where Flame King is," the man says.
"You go to your seat. I will try to contact Flame King," the senior officer replies.
The senior officer raises his hand to his mouth, activates his wristwatch, and calls Flame King.
BEEP—BEEP—CALLING…
The call goes for almost one minute, and Flame King picks up.
"Hola Max! Why did you call me?" Flame King says on call.
"Flame King! We have an emergency situation in Haoi City!" the senior officer shouts. "A City-level monster attacked there and so many people died!"
"You have to go there and save everyone, because right now every superhero is busy saving others, and we can't send rookies to fight a City-level monster," the senior officer continues.
"Okay, I'll go there in 30 seconds," Flame King replies.
FWOOOOOOOSH!!!
Flames burst in the sky — someone is flying with the speed of sound.
Flame King is flying in the air with his superpowers to rescue the citizens of Haoi City.
A big monster with long teeth and a dinosaur-like body is attacking buildings filled with people using its laser breath.
ROOOOAR!!! — ZZZAAAP!!
Something comes tearing apart the clouds —
it is Flame King, his body covered with blue flames.
"This monster caused so much trouble… I have to defeat him in one attack or he might hurt more people," Flame King thinks.
Flame King's body emits a huge burst of fire, and he shouts—
"FIRE KING!!!"
—while punching that monster in the face.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A burst of blue flame covers the monster and it cries in pain.
GRAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
"Flame King defeated a City-level monster in just one punch!" the news anchor announces. "Flame King controlled his fire ability and focused it on the monster!"
Everyone watching TV starts celebrating with cheers filled with the name of Flame King.
CHEER!!! WOOOO!!!
Thud… thud…
Orhan is walking on the street with the same frustrated face.
"Does Sharmani mam always fight with her husband or something? So she took all that frustration on us," Orhan says in irritation.
Something is watching Orhan from a dustbin —
This thing has long teeth, a furry small body, three big eyes, saliva dripping from its mouth.
SLURP… DRIP…
"This kid looks delicious. I think his hand must be the most tasty part of his body," the monster says with a creepy smile.
JUMP!
The monster jumps on Orhan —
Orhan falls but stabilizes his body and grabs a wooden stick.
"What is this? What just happened?" Orhan thinks. "How did I fall down? Did this monster do this?"
"Hehehe…"
"So you think you can do something to me with this weak stick!?" the monster says. "Now you made me angry, and I will start eating you."
The monster moves so fast that Orhan loses its trace —
the next moment Orhan sees him, the monster is eating a human hand.
CRUNCH… CRUNCH…
Orhan looks at both his hands — they're gone. Torn off.
"My hands? My…" Orhan thinks something, but he falls to the ground from fear and pain and faints.
THUD…
Drops of water sprinkle on Orhan's face.
SPLASH!
"Kid, are you alright?" an unknown person wearing a weird suit asks.
Orhan slowly opens his eyes and sees a stranger.
"What happened… and who is he?" Orhan thinks.
"Kid, are you alright?"
Orhan becomes more conscious and remembers that his hands were eaten—
"Aagh!"
"My hands!!" Orhan screams and looks —
His hands are fine. Only his shirt is damaged.
"What? I clearly remember I lost both hands," Orhan thinks. "Did this man heal me?"
"Are you the one who saved and healed me?" Orhan asks.
"What are you talking about, kid?" the unknown man replies.
The man stands up.
"If you are alright, then go to your home. It's dangerous today to walk around alone." The man give advice.
And with this advice — the man vanishes into thin air.
WHOOSH!
"Woah… is that man a speed-type superhero?" Orhan asks himself.
Nurses walking in corridors, patients' family members arguing about hospital bills.
MURMUR… ARGUE…
"So according to your story — a monster attacked you and ate your hands, and when you woke up, a speed-type superhero saved you and your hands were fine except your shirt," the doctor asks.
"Yes, doctor," Orhan replies.
"I think he was attacked by a monster and got a little trauma. His brain is making fake memories," the doctor says. "I also checked his Aether — he still didn't unlock his powers."
"Doctor, are you sure he didn't unlock a Healing-Type Aether?" Orhan's father asks.
"I am 100% sure he didn't unlock any kind of Aether," the doctor replies. "He needs rest. I suggest giving him some days of rest from school and homework so his mind forgets that trauma."
Orhan and his father leave the hospital and arrive home.
"Orhan, rest in your room and play some games to freshen up your mind," Orhan's dad says.
Orhan goes to his room and turns on the TV to watch cartoons.
BZZZ… BZZZ… BZZZ…
Orhan's phone starts ringing.
When he looks at his phone — his face turns sad.
"Why is he calling me? After he became a superhero, he didn't even try to meet me. And now he is calling me out of nowhere," Orhan thinks.
Orhan picks up the call with frustrated eyes.
"Hello…" Orhan greets on call.
To be continued.
